Aloha

We just got back from a WONDERFUL vacation! We left on Wednesday the 7th and drove to Houston. We stayed with my grandmother that night and got up the next (which was my birthday!) to head to Honolulu. I was sooooo nervious about Anniston Kate flying for the first time. However, I am happy to report she did amazing! It really didn't seem to phase her at all. She was passed from my lap to Drew's lap to my mom's lap and then across the aisle to Drew's parents laps! Ha!! We had a great time while we were there. Anniston got to go swimming for the first time and she seemed to really like it! We got her a blowup fish that she could float around in... she was precious in it! We did have one problem while we were there... Anniston got her first stomach bug!!!! It was awful. I felt so bad for her. The good news is that she didn't seem to feel bad at all except for one night. I can gladly say that we are now over this bug! I will post pictures of our trip later on!

Anniston Kate~
Your first vacation was so much fun (minus the stomach bug). It was truly a family vacation! Both of your grandmothers and your grandfather came! It was extra special because you got to see both of your great grandmothers too! One of your great grandmothers lives in Hawaii, the other in Houston. You had a blast in the pool in your little floating duck. Mommy and Daddy pushed you every where in your stroller and you loved looking around at everyone. It was very hot some days and you would find yourself a little cranky from time to time... but who wouldn't?? Mommy found herself the same way a few times :) You really do not like the sun shinning in your face!!! You did wonderful on the airplane rides. In fact, on the way home from Hawaii you slept 6 hours!!! It was funny to see the peoples faces who were sitting next to us when they saw you!!! They were gearing up for a terrible plane ride. However, you showed everyone on that plane how sweet and wonderful you are! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to take you back there and get you your very own hula skirt!
I love you more than you will ever know!
Mommy
